Lost and found...

Ok so I lost something important today. Searched high and low because it had to be somewhere in the house. Only to find it the third time I looked in the same place. Now if I checked in this place twice already how come I didn't find it until the third time? I am convinced there are mischievous gremlins that hide things and then put them back!

Re: Lost and found...

We discussed this a long time ago Annie, and voted almost unanimously that there are gremlins at work.
From what you say, it looks like they're back again.

Well they can't be everywhere at once. I think they work on a large area rota. They have been away working elsewhere, maybe even abroad for the winter.

Now they are back. You see.

Re: Lost and found...

They were here only yesterday! I searched all my Ikea storage boxes yesterday, looking for the Suffolk maps. Today, I look again, and there they are, right at the bottom of one of them.

They have moved to my place! This has been happening to me a lot. There must be one gremlin in every room waiting until my back is turned....

You may well be right about the seasonality of gremlins. I don't recall this happening much in the Winter. How does one rid oneself of a gremlin infestation?

Re: Lost and found...

These could be Kappas, mythical Japanese creatures. Although some people have taken pictures of them in real life. I guess they would fit the description of a Gremlin. Here below......
